 Canadian Geological Discoveries: Overview and Main Objective December 14, 2022 Today is our final time for Addison's Blog for Canadian Geological Discoveries as we talk about the information discussed from our previous blogs about Canada's natural disasters. There are multiple questions to ask about this. What Natural Disasters are the worst in Canada, and why should we prepare for these certain occasions? Where exactly in Canada will the events happen? What can we do to cease its spreading to make the country a better and more stable place? First things first are to identify the patterns of where these natural disasters hit the most.
